Free eye examinations

An eye examination isn't just about checking how well you see, it allows us to see directly into your body to actually see veins, arteries and a variety things that may indicate other health issues that may need further investigation. Diabetes, Glaucoma, Macular degeneration and hyper tension can all be picked up during a routine eye examination. We would advise you make an eye test a part of your general health regime just like your regular visit to your dentist.
